DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.

[0050] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein below, and examples thereof are shown in the drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, identical numbers on different drawings represent identical or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0051] It should be noted that the user information (including but not limited to user equipment information, user personal information, etc.) and data (including but not limited to data for analysis, stored data, displayed data, etc.) involved in the present application are all information and data authorized by the user or authorized by all parties, and the collection, use, processing, transmission, provision, disclosure and application of related data comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards, necessary security measures are taken, do not violate public order and good customs, and provide corresponding operation portal for user to choose authorization or refusal.

[0052] And the present application relates to the big data analysis of user information (including but not limited to personal biological characteristics, identity data, consumption data, asset data, electronic terminal operation data, etc.), and the automatic decision-making by using artificial intelligence technology, and the technical scheme for making decisions that have a significant impact on personal rights and interests based on the automatic decision-making results, providing the corresponding operation portal for users to choose to agree or reject the automatic decision-making results; if the user chooses to reject, the expert decision-making process is entered.

[0053] It should be noted that the vehicle control method, device, medium and product of the present application can be used in the field of electronic appliances or other vehicle-related fields.

[0054] It should be noted that in this document, the term "comprises", "comprising", or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or other elements inherent to such a process, method, article or device. Without more limitations, the element defined by the statement "comprises a" does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device that includes the element.

[0055] At present, the induction area of the near field communication (NFC) card key and the induction area for wireless charging of mobile terminals such as mobile phones are the same area. When the user starts the vehicle and also has the demand for mobile phone charging at the same time, multiple steps are required to support mobile phone charging, and the user experience is poor. Therefore, in order to improve the user experience and meet the user's demand for starting the vehicle and charging the mobile phone at the same time, the present application optimizes the vehicle start, and proposes a vehicle control method. The smart key such as the NFC card key only needs to be placed in the induction area for induction once, and can support vehicle start, gear D, and vehicle power output within a set time period. The smart key does not need to be attached to the induction area all the time.

[0056] Among them, the set time period can be set differently according to the specific vehicle, that is, it is set according to the smart key verification time period and the time period for the user to reflect and input the vehicle start instruction. For example, the set time period can be 60 seconds.

[0057] Based on the above, after the smart key is placed in the induction area for induction once, the user can place the mobile phone in the induction area for mobile phone charging, which can meet the user's demand for charging the device while starting the vehicle, and the operation steps are simple and clear, which greatly improves the user experience.

[0058] Before introducing the vehicle control method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the structure of the vehicle machine system and the interaction process between different structures in the vehicle machine system involved in the vehicle control method will be explained in combination with the drawings, wherein Fig. 1 is a structure diagram of the vehicle machine system involved in the vehicle control method provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0059] As shown in Fig. 1, it can be seen that the vehicle machine system involved in the vehicle control method mainly includes a driver monitoring system, a driving information and entertainment host system (Digital Cockpit Head Unit, referred to as DHU), a central electronic module (Central Electronic Module, referred to as CEM), a body controller, a Bluetooth near field communication module (Bluetooth Near Field Communication Module, referred to as BNCM), a wireless charging (Wireless Phone Charge, referred to as WPC) module and the like. Among them, the driver monitoring system includes a monitoring device and a control module, the monitoring device includes a driver detection camera (Driver Monitoring Camera, referred to as DMC) and a driver seat sensor; the DHU includes a central control screen; the body controller is part of the CEM.

[0060] Fig. 2 is an interaction diagram between different structures in the vehicle machine system involved in the vehicle control method provided by the embodiments of the present application. As shown in Fig. 2, in the structure shown in Fig. 1, the DHU is connected with the driver monitoring system and the CEM respectively, the CEM is further connected with the driver monitoring system and the BNCM, the BNCM is further connected with the WPC module, and the mutually connected components can communicate with each other, such as signal transmission. Among them, the monitoring device in the driver monitoring system can be used to monitor the driver state, and the monitoring device is connected with the CEM, and can synchronize the driver state acquired by each to the CEM, wherein the driver state acquired by the driver monitoring system can be transmitted to the CEM through the DHU, or can be directly displayed through the central control screen of the DHU; the WPC module integrates the sensing function, when the mobile terminal is sensed, the related information is transmitted to the CEM through the BNCM, so as to charge the mobile terminal by using the wireless charging technology; the BNCM and the CEM are part of the remote control subsystem (Remote control), and the CEM controls the body electrical system based on the acquired driver state and the like, such as controlling the electric window, the electric rearview mirror, the air conditioner, the anti-theft locking system and the like.

[0061] Optionally, for the case that the sensing area of the intelligent key and the sensing area of the wireless charging are the same area, the WPC module can contain the NKR module, for example, the NFC card reader.

[0062] The technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below with specific examples. The following specific examples can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes can not be described again in some examples. The embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0063] Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a vehicle control method provided by the present application. The vehicle control method provided by the present application can be executed by the cooperation of various structures in the vehicle machine system shown in Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 3, the method comprises:

[0064] S301, in response to detecting the smart key in the sensing area, performing key verification on the smart key.

[0065] For example, the NFC card reader in the WPC module senses the NFC card key, i.e. the smart key. In response to this action, the WPC module reads the relevant information of the smart key through the NFC card reader, and interacts with the BNCM based on the read relevant information, so that the BNCM compares the relevant information with the stored vehicle key information, and performs key verification on the smart key.

[0066] The implementation of key verification can refer to existing technologies, which will not be described here.

[0067] S302, if the key verification is successful, start timing.

[0068] In this step, it can be understood that if the result of the key verification on the smart key in S301 is that the key verification is successful, the BNCM will transmit a signal of successful key verification to the control module of the driver monitoring system. The control module of the driver monitoring system will control the start of the monitoring device, so that the monitoring device of the driver monitoring system starts to monitor the state of the driver; the control module of the driver monitoring system will also transmit a signal of whether the control of the monitoring device is successful to the BNCM, and the BNCM will start timing after receiving the signal of successful control of the monitoring device.

[0069] S303, if the driver is not detected to leave within the set effective time length of the successful key verification, and the vehicle start instruction is obtained, the vehicle is controlled to start.

[0070] In this step, it can be understood that, within the effective time length of the successful key verification, if the driver does not leave the driver seat and triggers the start request, the start request is triggered, that is, the start button or knob in the vehicle is pressed. The start request issued by the driver is sent to the CEM, and the CEM performs start verification on the start request, wherein the start verification content includes checking whether the safety belt is fastened, the door is closed, etc. Once the verification is passed, the CEM sends the start authorization information to the body controller, and the body controller activates the start relay after receiving the start authorization, so as to transmit electric energy to the starter. After the starter gets the power, it starts to rotate and drive the engine to start, thereby completing the work of starting the vehicle.

[0071] The key verification is performed on the smart key detected by the sensing area in the embodiment of the application. Within the effective time length of the successful key verification, if it is monitored that the driver does not leave and the vehicle start instruction issued by the driver is obtained, the vehicle start is controlled. By setting the effective time length of the successful key verification, the driver can complete the vehicle start within the effective time length of the successful key verification without needing to place the smart key on the sensing area all the time, the operation steps are simple and clear, and the user experience is greatly improved. Optionally, if the user also has the demand for wireless charging, the to-be-charged device can be placed in the sensing area after the smart key is detected in the sensing area, and the to-be-charged device is wirelessly charged, so as to reduce the waiting time and meet the demand for simultaneously starting the vehicle and wirelessly charging.

[0072] On the basis of the above embodiment, the vehicle control method can further include: in response to the process of detecting the smart key, if the charging demand for the target device is detected in the sensing area, controlling the target device to be wirelessly charged.

[0073] In this embodiment, it can be understood that, in the process of responding to the detection of the smart key by the sensing area of the WPC module, if the WPC module still detects the charging demand of the target device in the sensing area, the WPC will use the wireless charging technology to perform the wireless charging operation on the target device. In this process, the target device can be a mobile phone. The process of responding to the detection of the smart key by the sensing area of the WPC module includes: within the effective time length of the successful key verification.

[0074] Optionally, the wireless charging operation on the target device needs the vehicle mode (Car Mode) to be in the normal mode or the crash mode. Optionally, the wireless charging operation on the target device also needs the convenience, the inactive state and the active state logic in the usage mode (Usage Mode) of the vehicle to be available.

[0075] In the process of responding to the detection of the smart key, if it is detected that the target device needs to be charged in the sensing area, the wireless charging module is controlled to perform wireless charging on the target device, so that the demand of the user for charging the device while starting the vehicle can be met.

[0076] On the basis of the above embodiment, the monitoring of the driver state described in S102 includes: controlling the monitoring device to monitor the driver state, the monitoring device including a driver occupancy sensor and / or a DMC. Wherein, the controlling the monitoring device to monitor the driver state includes: controlling the monitoring device to be started to monitor the driver state through the monitoring device.

[0077] In this embodiment, it can be understood that after the key verification succeeds, the BNCM will transmit a signal of successful key verification to the control module of the driver monitoring system. After receiving the signal of successful key verification, the control module of the driver monitoring system will control the monitoring device to be started, so that the monitoring device of the driver monitoring system starts to monitor the driver state. The monitoring device of the driver monitoring system includes a driver occupancy sensor and / or a DMC.

[0078] In an example, the driver occupancy sensor is controlled to be started to monitor the driver state through the driver occupancy sensor.

[0079] In another example, the driver occupancy sensor and the DMC are controlled to be started to monitor the driver state through the driver occupancy sensor and the DMC.

[0080] Optionally, before the monitoring device is controlled to be started to monitor the driver state through the monitoring device, it further includes: waking up the monitoring device when the vehicle door is detected to be opened. This means that before the monitoring device is controlled to be started, the monitoring device needs to be woken up first, and the premise of waking up the monitoring device is to open the vehicle door.

[0081] Specifically, when the user approaches the smart key to the unlocking vehicle designated position, the NFC reader at the unlocking vehicle designated position will be activated. The activated NFC reader will capture the signal emitted by the smart key and transmit the captured signal to the CEM, and the CEM will verify the identity information of the smart key. After the verification succeeds, the CEM will send a signal to unlock the vehicle door to the body controller, and the body controller will control the door lock actuator to complete the vehicle door unlocking operation after receiving the signal to unlock the vehicle door. After the vehicle door unlocking operation is completed, the user can open the vehicle door. When the vehicle door is opened, the state of the door lock switch sensor will change, and the door lock switch sensor will transmit the changed state to the control module of the driver monitoring system, and the control module of the driver monitoring system will set the monitoring device to the wake-up state after receiving the state signal transmitted by the door lock switch sensor.

[0082] The embodiment of the present application can improve the accuracy of the vehicle control method for judging the driver state by using the monitoring device to monitor the driver state.

[0083] On the basis of the above embodiment, the monitoring device comprises a driver seat sensor and a DMC, and the method further comprises: if the driver seat sensor and the DMC are both normal, obtaining the driver state monitored by the DMC; and if the DMC is abnormal, obtaining the driver state monitored by the driver seat sensor.

[0084] In this embodiment, it can be understood that if the monitoring device comprises the DMC and the driver seat sensor, and the driver state monitored by the DMC is inconsistent with the driver state monitored by the driver seat sensor, the driver state monitored by the DMC is taken as the driver state.

[0085] This means that if the driver monitoring system of the vehicle is equipped with both the DMC and the driver seat sensor, the control module of the driver monitoring system will send the driver state signals monitored by the DMC and the driver seat sensor at the same time, and at this time, the driver state signal sent by the DMC is used preferentially. If the two driver state signals conflict in judgment, the driver state signal sent by the DMC is taken as the standard. For example, the driver seat sensor sends that the main driver is absent, and the DMC sends that the main driver is present, and when the two driver state signals conflict, the driver state signal sent by the DMC is taken as the standard, and the downstream functional logic and design process is continued.

[0086] The embodiment of the present application can improve the accuracy of the driver state judgment by using two monitoring devices to monitor the driver state.

[0087] On the basis of the above embodiment, if the key verification fails, the first prompt information indicating the key verification failure is output; and / or if the driver is monitored to leave within the set valid time length of the verification successful key, the current timing is invalidated, and the second prompt information indicating that the driver leaves is output.

[0088] In this embodiment, it can be understood that if the key verification fails, the BNCM sends the first prompt information indicating the key verification failure to the DHU, and the DHU processes the received first prompt information indicating the key verification failure sent by the BNCM by using the central processing unit of the DHU, and then outputs the processed first prompt information on the central control screen, wherein the first prompt information comprises the key verification failure result and the corresponding processing measures.

[0089] If the driver monitoring system monitors that the driver leaves within the effective time length of the successfully checked key, the control module of the driver monitoring system transmits second prompt information of the driver leaving to the BNCM and the DHU, wherein the BNCM invalidates the current timing after receiving the second prompt information of the driver leaving, and the DHU processes the received second prompt information of the driver leaving by using the central processing unit of the DHU after receiving the second prompt information of the driver leaving, and then outputs the processed second prompt information on the central control screen, wherein the second prompt information includes the driver state information and the corresponding processing measures.

[0090] The embodiment of the present application can help the user to understand the reason for the failure in controlling the vehicle to start and charging the device, so as to help the user to determine the next operation, and thus improve the user experience.

[0091] On the basis of the above embodiment, if the timing exceeds the effective time length of the successfully checked key or the vehicle starting instruction is obtained, the timing is ended; and if the smart key is detected in the sensing area during the timing, the timing is ended, and the key check is performed on the newly detected smart key.

[0092] In this embodiment, it can be understood that the timing ending occurs in the following several situations:

[0093] 1. The driver does not start the vehicle within the effective time length of the successfully checked key, and the BNCM stops the timing logic, that is, the BNCM ends the timing when the BNCM does not receive the vehicle starting instruction issued by the driver within the effective time length of the successfully checked key;

[0094] 2. The BNCM stops the timing logic when the driver starts the vehicle, that is, the BNCM ends the timing when the BNCM receives the vehicle starting instruction issued by the driver;

[0095] 3. The BNCM stops the timing logic when the smart key is detected again in the sensing area, that is, the BNCM ends the timing when the BNCM receives the signal that the smart key is detected again in the sensing area, but the key check is performed again on the newly detected smart key.

[0096] Optionally, the smart key includes an NFC card key, the vehicle is provided with a wireless charging module, the wireless charging module contains an NFC card reader, and the wireless charging module detects the NFC card key in the sensing area through the NFC card reader.

[0097] Hereinafter, taking the effective time length of 1 minute as an example, how to use the vehicle control method provided by the embodiment of the present application is explained and described, and the method flowchart is shown in FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a method flowchart of the vehicle control method provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0098] As shown in FIG. 4, the steps of the vehicle control method are as follows:

[0099] 1. The user unlocks the vehicle to open the door, even if the vehicle is in the non-abandoned state, to wake up the monitoring device, wherein the monitoring device includes a driver detection camera and / or a driver occupancy sensor;

[0100] 2. The user places the NFC card key into the WPC module induction area, the WPC module reads the relevant information of the intelligent key through the NFC card reader, and interacts with the BNCM based on the relevant information read, so that the BNCM compares the relevant information with the stored vehicle key information, and performs key verification on the intelligent key;

[0101] 3. If the key verification fails, the BNCM will end the one-minute timing logic and prompt the key verification failure related information on the feedback large screen, i.e. prompt the key verification failure related information in the central control screen;

[0102] 4. If the key verification is successful, the BNCM will interact with the driver monitoring system control module in the form of broadcast. After receiving the key verification information, the driver monitoring system control module will start the monitoring device, so that the monitoring device in the driver monitoring system starts to monitor the driver state. The state of the monitoring device starting is sent to the BNCM in the form of Controller Area Network (CAN) broadcast. After receiving the signal of the monitoring device starting successfully, the BNCM will start timing;

[0103] 5. If the monitoring device in the driver monitoring system monitors that the driver has left, the driver monitoring system control module will transmit the information that the driver has left to the BNCM and the DHU in the form of CAN broadcast. After receiving the related prompt information that the driver has left, the BNCM will invalidate the current timing; after receiving the related prompt information that the driver has left, the DHU will process the received related prompt information that the driver has left using the central processing unit of the DHU, and then output the processed related prompt information on the central control screen;

[0104] 6. If the monitoring device in the driver monitoring system monitors that the driver has not left, the driver monitoring system control module will transmit the information that the driver has not left to the BNCM, and the BNCM will start the one-minute timing valid logic after receiving the information that the driver has not left. At this time, the user can start the vehicle within one minute without placing the NFC card key into the WPC induction area.

[0105] 7. After receiving an NFC card key in the WPC sensing area once, if the WPC sensing area also receives a mobile phone signal, the WPC can be used to charge the mobile phone.

[0106] In summary, the vehicle control method provided in this application only requires the NFC card key to be placed in the sensing area once, instead of keeping the NFC card key in the sensing area continuously. Furthermore, this method supports vehicle start-up, shifting into Drive (D) gear, and vehicle power output within one minute. In other words, the vehicle control method provided in this application allows the mobile phone to be placed in the sensing area for charging after the NFC card key has been placed in the sensing area once, thereby improving the user experience.

[0107] Optionally, this application embodiment monitors the driver's status by utilizing DMC and / or a driver occupancy sensor and uses BNCM start timing logic, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of key verification and authentication within one minute and supporting the user to simultaneously start the vehicle and charge the mobile phone, greatly improving the user experience.

[0108] In addition, the vehicle control method provided in this application does not require additional on-board hardware configuration or external equipment (vehicle fault diagnosis tools), will not cause on-board controller software failure, and saves vehicle costs.
